alright what's up guys my name is beau Tillman I'm from Edmond Oklahoma I've been a professional for 5 3 or 4 years now my current reading is 1012 I believe I have a couple sponsors and of a champion discs throwers choice out of Dallas Texas and Ducks Pro Shop out of Wichita Kansas Duff has a big tournament coming up the probably one of the biggest payouts and in the region for sure felt keeper of the chains and it's coming up here in a couple weeks so if they're not signed up should get signed up for it there's not very many people signed up yet so I know the aims are getting like a 200 plus dollar players pack and I think last your first place in pro was like fifteen or sixteen hundred dollars so and the courses are really fun so I'm gonna show you what's in my bag here my carries a grip ax 15 I've always carried a grip I'll probably never owned anything else by the best bag on the market so we'll start with the putters first I got to throwing putters three putting putters my to throwing putters AVR x3 175 grams really over stable I turn it over about as hard as I possibly can and it just goes dead straight Heiser's out next up is an old touring San Marino star AVR it's got a biggie smalls die on it I actually outbid drew Gibson for this so hopefully drew doesn't want this any more than I do thanks drew my putting putters I got to every time I cut I got to have something in my off hand so this is my main putter pretty much any time from 80 feet min you'll see me throwing this one and with these two in my hand but if I ever lose this is the same thing they're old touring San Marino Casey AVRs I don't use the white one so I ones are really hard these are extremely soft for Casey ABR they're really grippy and they're basically DX a TRS but with the kind of the Casey bolt the flat top want notes so and then this one's really cool I wipe the stamp off of it so you can see this world a little bit better next we go to my utility discs I carry a 175 flat top Firebird I throw the pearly ones not the opaque chalky looking ones these just seem to last a little bit longer they really hold up their stability for I mean ever I've had this one for like a year and it's still basically brand new the last one I had before I lost it I carried it for probably four years or so and it flew just like the day I got it the other discs that I carry a utility disc anyway is a glow max it is a mutant frisbee and it's by far the most overstable disc I've ever seen anybody throw plant alone the most overstable discs I've ever thrown it has this really crazy like pop top on it whenever I throw it on a hyzer instead of tracking off to the left it comes down almost straight vertical I can throw it forehand basically on a roller angle and it comes out skips I mean you can throw it I found it like this they get around a corner or something and it skipped over a hundred feet just kind of skipping and rolling and sputtering along alright we'll go to the fairway drivers will start understable I carry a CEQ JLS from the 2002 Norman pro-am I was actually given this for my birthday by my buddy Jared and it's pretty over stable for a huge it but if you've ever thrown a huge yeah you know that that's not very stable next I carry three this mania CD twos I throw to see line first runs this one's been in my bag since they came out 2014 I've been carrying this one since 2014 is extremely under stable this is my go-to I mean anytime I pull this disc out of my bag I know it's gonna do exactly what I wanted to do and I would say it might have the most birdies out of anything in my bag this is the same thing obviously different color a little bit more new pretty overstable it flies it flies all like a PD you've ever thrown a PD just a little bit more turn on it before it hyzers out and then I've got this newer swirly s line one of course I bought this for way too much money right before the stock runs came out but it's awesome I've only thrown it for a month or so now so I still kind of figuring it out but so far it's been really nice it's kind of right in between those two next up I carry two t-birds they're actually TLS this one is a they're both second round Cee TLS this one has a real temple II top I've figured out that the ones with the dimply top seem to be more overstable and it's kind of weird because the more I beat it in the more simple as it gets the more overstable it gets this one same thing got the dimples but it's like almost brand new and still got flashing around the edges and I'm still kind of working it in I had to take it out of the bag all winter so I didn't break it cry on the course so hopefully by the end of the summer this thing will be be my go-to and then I carry two first-run C Line PDS I just bought this one from a buddy in Stillwater and it has a teen catfish stamp whatever team catfish is they're both 175 grams really flat overstable like a basket Firebird so that's the over stable one this team standpoint I've yeah I've thrown it for a couple years now and it's still very over stable but it it kind of pops up a little bit flat and I'm using these for probably any kind of flex to Hydra shot up to probably 410 420 feet so we'll go to the mid ranges now we'll start under stable I carry a chain rock 180 grams this is the strike mullet stamp this is probably one of my favorite stamps of any dish that I've ever owned I have two or three of these and I just kind of cycle them in and out this is my least stable one and it's got me paid a couple times and I use it for rollers I use it for turnovers hyzer flips whatever great this this is a nine-time KC rock it is kind of the softer plastic they make a soft one and a hard one just one's really old flat obviously they've got more stamp lip on it when I got it it was brand new so that told you how long I've been throwing it this one's been aged couple times except I didn't let anybody sign it because it was still new and pretty when I ace minute that thing just does anything I've wanted to you if I wanted to hide their Heiser's if I wanted to turn it turns that's probably the straightest disc in my bag as far as mid ranges go and it's the good old like I said the soft plastic so I'm not scared to throw it the cold or whatever I know it's never it's probably never gonna break I say that it's gonna break today but next up I got two more rocks one is a 180 gram glow rock 3 I got this right when I got sponsored by you know but this was the very first team stamp dish that I ever picked up at Worlds in Emporia I got it it was really over stable and now it's the perfect kind of flip up disc it's a little bit more stable than the nine time and obviously a little bit faster I use this for any kind of shot turnover highs are dead straight up to probably 353 70s and the last rock in my bag is a 2004 I guess like maybe a claw rock I don't know what it's called but it's really flat really over stable the nice like fingerprinting kind of 11-time style plastic this thing is I carry some Gators too and this thing is just just under the stability of my Gators so it's really really a go-to in the windy days here at Oklahoma next up is a first run champion Gator this is the circle stamp whatever reads stamp I guess is what they call it 175 grams I've carried this forever actually oneness and a bet my buddy James on a CTP of the last hole of the tournament and Hera he told me that if I could get CTP on my card he would give me this disc and so of course I threw this skater to ctp and Godfrey so thanks James and the other one is a flat top flow Gator has my foam course tournament stamp on it this was we went through the whole box of Gators and this was the only flat top one so of course I had to have it and just extra bonus that it has the rainbow stamp and they actually misspelled Edmonds on it so it's kind of special to me I don't know why but it also had my buddy Brad initials on it that's kind of the guy that taught me how to play and I'm in toward me coming up into the sanction golf and kind of turn a professional and have what it took to be a professional all right on to the distance drivers we'll start I kind of sort them by color I sort everything by color detail so the three yellows this one is a legendary disc named oil it has the Jeremy Martin stamp which is another tournament coming up here in Oklahoma City probably one of the best non-sanctioned tournaments in the country we got two horses it's filled for I think this is like the maybe eleventh or twelfth year I don't know 13th been a long time and I've never once seen it not fill up so this is an old SDS patent number destroyer but it's really beat up distance rollers I probably rolled this thing five six hundred feet before and it flies just as good as it rolls forehand flip up shots everything this if I had to pick one destroyer to play with the rest of my life oil would be it by far got this for five dollars from the oil itself thanks the oil next up is a three-line AJ with the little team stamp on it you can see that it probably sat out in the Sun really long at some point I mean this is exactly what you want to destroy her to be it you can turn it over you can hyzer flip it whatever it's not going to roll over but it's not a meat hook either my girlfriend actually bought this for me for like ten dollars from somebody and it was almost brand-new besides the discoloration so of course I had to put in my bag it started as just a water disc for anywhere that I might need to you know throw something throw some risky shot over the water or risk losing it and it's turned into one of my favorite dances next up is another old patent number SDS destroyer the dayglo ones are obviously probably the most sought-after ones I would say this has a tournament stamp from my home course tournament same as the Gator but different year I've carried one of these destroyers with this stamp in my bag since I've started playing the very first meeting I ever played at my home course I got this at my payout and it's been in my bag ever since it's still very over stable really glide II and probably my second longest line gets in the bags next up is kind of the odd colors I only carry one of this is just your everyday embossed Star Destroyer it's got the little team stamp on the front you can see where it's been next all the other color just bleeding onto it it's got the bottom stamp on it the last shipment of disks I got I had a bunch of them with the big team stamps and I had one with the little one I said oh that's cool and picked it up and it happened to be the only bottom stamp one two so it was destiny that I went in the bag it's super over stable this is probably the second most overstable one in the bag this one I think where I got this I don't remember where I got this was the very first embossed destroyer I ever saw in the store on the shelf and they had to just like this exact same color I thought it was kind of a cool color like a Merlot color and so I picked it up kind of like the team stamp one I got it for a water disc and ended up fall in love with it it flies exactly like the old SDS ones that I always loved except instead of $80 it cost me like you know 16 bucks so that one's going to stay in until I either lose it or I don't think it's ever gonna be done okay I've cleared him for like two years and or at least a year or so and it hasn't beat in one good next one is the most overstable destroyer in my bag this is a I believe they call this like the hypno hunk maybe stay and I know that Eagle carries a pb2 with the same stamp he says that those are the most overstable PD twos so I don't know if they got a brief shipment of all their disks that were just super over stable if it's something with the stamp I don't know what it is but this is by far the most overstable destroyer I've never owned and my last two if you've ever played with me you for sure seen this disc fly if you've ever seen me on youtube if you've ever seen me across the course you've seen this this fly this is another old Marbley SDS destroyer 168 grams the 168 and SDS is are by far the the best weight you can get their still really over stable but you can kind of make them work this is the longest line just in my bag for sure I threw this into the middle of the pond and the final nine at the Norman pro-am one year and it was at least 150 feet off the bank from every side and a couple years later somebody brought it back to me then scribbled out my name on the top and it's satin upon so long that they're sharpie wore off so so it's back to me and I'll never get rid of it that'll be in the bag forever and the last one this one flies a lot like Doyle it's a free flight number create a Star Destroyer I called it my cotton candy because it's kind of got some pink swirls in it and if flagging a lot like Doyle does but maybe a little bit more overstable I can throw this on really really long distance roller lines big tall like nose off an Heiser's and I know that it's going to turn but it's always going to come back just a little bit at the end um some other stuff I carry in my bag I've got my end of a towel I don't know I don't remember what these are called but these are the best towels that you can use for disc golf because they dry everything really well and then they dry out really quick instead of keeping that moisture in it forever and as far as like 30 bags or whatever you want to call it this is a Y dry sack Y dry bag from Terra Y of of kind of a local in Tulsa and she makes these she actually made this one for a tournament but she makes personalized ones and stuff too so look her up on Facebook why dry chalk bags I think is what it's called look her up on Facebook she can hook you up and the last thing probably the most important thing to me in my bag is my 1985 world's mini and this was in Tulsa Oklahoma and it glows in the dark better than anything I've ever seen and it has a little spot to write your name on it I've been through like three of these and they're not cheap to replace but I'll never go to a tournament without one of these so whenever you come to keep her up the chains and witch talk you'll see this on the ground for every shot and I believe that is it other than that just a bunch of junk bunch of trash I keep my side pockets cupholders everything full of trash so you don't litter on the course these bags come with like a million pockets so use every one of them make sure that you're not littering on the courses and check out the keeper of the chains tournament coming up in Wichita every year like I says and biggest payout area and stuff cut off this dumps Pro Shops and Rolls Royce calm and we'll be out there
